[SOLVED] Register Script Help

[jaku78]

I'm still starting PHP for the most part and I've been trying to make a register script for the day and I'm having some trouble, whenever the script runs from a form pre-created this is what appears.

 

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '{' in dir/check.inc on line 8

 

This is talking about a included file that holds functions to check the user name.

 

<?php
//USERNAME CHECK 

function usercheck($usercheckname)
{

if(!ereg("^[A-Za-z -]+$",$usercheckname)
{
echo "Invalid Username. Try again.";
die();
}
else
{
echo "Username Success";
return $usercheckname;
}
}

Now it hasn't even finished through the whole included file yet, but always stops at that line 8, and if I take that off the whole IF statement would not work I believe...

 

Help is appreciated greatly.

if(!ereg("^[A-Za-z -]+$",$usercheckname)

should be

if(!ereg("^[A-Za-z -]+$",$usercheckname))

Thank you! That worked!
